There is a simple fidelity to the moment that we experience through hygge. ...we adjust our surroundings to guide our energy and desire. Hygge pays attention to the concerns of the human spirit, turning us towards a manner of living that priorities simple pleasure, friendship and connection above consumption.

Hygge happens when we commit to the pleasure of the present moment in its simplicity. It's there in the things we do that give everyday life value and meaning, that comfort us, make us feel at home, rooted and generous.

...how a familiar room slowly changes colour as morning arrives.

The aspects of things that are most important for us are hidden because of their simplicity and familiarity. -Ludwig Wittgenstein

Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. -William Morris

He didn't remember, he didn't worry, he just was. -Tove Jansson
